SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 490,933, dated January 31, 1893.

Application filed April 11, 1892.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK O. WARD, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neck-Wear, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a head for a scarf of the order of a four-in-hand, formed of a plate or piece of suitable material with a pin for-attachment at one end of the scarf, and the free end of the neck band, the other end of, the latter being attachable to said head, as will be hereinafter set forth and claimed.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a head for a scarf embodying my invention. Figs. 2, 3 and at represent steps of applying the scarf to said head.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawingsz-A designates a head formed of metal or other suitable material. Connected with the rear of said head is a pin B, to which is attached one end of of a knot O and skirt D, as in the class of neck-wear known as four-in-hand. To one corner of the head is attached the tongues E, behind which is an opening F, whereby one end of the neck band G, may be secured to the head by being passed through said opening F, and engaged with said tongues E. The opposite corner of the head is provided with an opening H, through which the free end of the band is passed on its way through the knot C.

It will be seen that when the scarf and band are attached to the head A, and the scarf madeup, the band is passed around the Serial No. 428,626. (No model.)

collar and inserted through the knot, after which the band is tightened on the neck of the wearer, and the free end thereof engaged with the end J of the pin B, said end projecting below the head, as will be seen in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.

It is evident that the complete scarf may be readily removed from the neck, and the scarf proper disconnected from the head, and substituted by one of different pattern, material, &c., if so desired.

The scarf is prevented from disengagement from the plate A, owing to the eye or loop P, which is secured to the plate near the lower end thereof, and retains the adjacent portion of the pin B thereinas a keeper.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letter Patent, is: I

1. A head for a scarf consisting of a plate of suitable material having openings therein in its opposite corners, a pin connected with said plate between said openings, a keeper for said pin connected with said plate, and a tongue fastened to one side of one of said openings, said parts being combined substantially as described.

2. A head for a scarf consisting of a plate of suitable material having openings therein on opposite corners, apin and a keeper secured to one side of said plate, and a tongue connected with the plate on the same side thereof as the pin, and adjacent to one of said openings, said parts being combined substantially as described.
